Tangible Fundraising

'Inspirational!' 'Incredibly thought provoking.'

June 16th 2011 POSTED BY: Tangible

Fundraising audiences have loved Nick Thomas's presentation on 'How to spice up your fundraising'.

In it he argues that despite these austere times, appeals don't have to be serious and downbeat. In fact, more than ever, supporters are looking for engagement, interaction and even fun!

He demonstrates how charities both large and small have spiced up their asks in very interesting and supporter-delighting ways. If you would like to know more or to request a copy of the presentation, email us today.

Oxfam, Rankin & Tangible

June 16th 2011 POSTED BY: Tangible


We’ve been involved with Oxfam’s latest acquisition appeal recruiting regular givers to the cause.

It’s been a great example of a ‘brand response’ campaign, tieing in with a national poster and online campaign and using powerful, provocative photography (of people holding their whole day's food in their hands) taken by world-renowned photographer Rankin.

As well as being brand-literate and integrated, our work is carefully-crafted with our direct marketing expertise to maximise response and retention rates. 

For people in the developing world struggling to get enough food to eat, the system's bust. Oxfam's supporters can help fix it.

Client win: Practical Action

June 16th 2011 POSTED BY: Tangible


We're delighted to welcome new client Practical Action, after winning the pitch to work with them on their supporter development programme.

Practical Action has a very distinctive proposition: providing innovative solutions, through simple technology, to help communities in the developing world. The zeer pot pictured above is a great example – in places without powered refrigeration, a double-wall zeer pot (lined with damp sand) can keep food cool, so tomatoes (for instance) stay fresh up to for 10 times as long.

We're looking forward to using direct and digital media to really bring these innovative ideas to life and make Practical Action as famous as they deserve to be!
